The global pandemic has pushed us to be immersed in a global, interconnected galaxy of virtual worlds, avatars, and online communities, a world where the physical and virtual worlds converge. Between Hype and Hyperreality provides readers with a framework to understand the economy and technology of the Metaverse and the hidden danger of dataveillance, while examining the unlimited potential of the Spatial Web.

To make this book a portal bridging the real and virtual worlds, I designed the 3D visual language for each chapter opening which allows readers to dive into another world.

The book itself is a portal from the physical to the virtual world where readers can navigate through the content freely and read the book from a brand new perspective.

Book Launch Posters as a slice of the book narrative to further maximize the in-person experience.
